So whilst browsing on the sff reddit, i came along with a custom case and got a file with the instrucstions to make the case. But for some reason i cant open it, windows keeps saying " How do you want to open this file"

Here is where you download the link.

It automatically opened in fusion 360 for me for some reason so that is a free alternative to view it.

[Mr.Moustache]

@jaslionCould Sketchup work? If so could you tell me how, im use the web version.

yeah but OP says:

But for some reason i cant open it, windows keeps saying " How do you want to open this file"

 

so that's the alternate method

I know I just assumed op had a program installed for it but it seems they do not so I just suggested autodesk fusion as it's free.

Does not seem to be a way. Just download autodesk fusion and use that.
